My printer will only print in white font with black background. How can I correct this? I have re-downloaded the driver, with no change. It is a brother MFC L2700DW series HELP!

printer issue, white prints on black background

Hi janmcbaker,

I’m Rey, your Independent Advisor, and a Windows user, just like you.

I understand you are having trouble printing in which it prints in black background and white letters.

Basically, this is printing inverted.

May I ask the make and model of your printer and after that, I will provide you the steps to change this.

And what file were you trying to print?

Let me know.

Regards,

 

Printer is printing with black background and white font

I have just moved house and just had Windows 10 installed on my computer and have got a secondhand printer, a Xerox DocuPrint M265z connected to my computer and it is printing with a black background and white font. The test print from the printer comes
out normal but printing from the computer comes out with black background and white font. How do I fix this please.
